This document summarizes Facebook's main privacy settings in 3 sentences or less: Facebook allows users to control who can view their profile information, posts, and tagging activity through various privacy settings. These settings determine which information is publicly visible and who can view posts, send friend requests, and interact on users' timelines. Users can also control what data third-party apps and websites can access, block specific people, and secure their accounts through additional security settings.

leads to your profile and timeline)

- Whether or not Facebook can use facial recognition to automatically tag
photos with your name that are uploaded on any Timeline.

14. Apps and websites
- Check all the games, applications and websites connected to your
Facebook account (created by Facebook and third parties).
- All apps interact with your publicly available profile information as well as
your friends lists.
- Most apps interact with the “basic information” of you and your friends.
(always check what is included in the “basic information” definition and
make sure you are comfortable to share this information)

16. Apps settings
List of apps you use
- You can delete Apps from this list (you cannot “get back” any information
you already share with them, they just can’t get more)
- You can look at the information each app interacts with
- Manage what parts of your personal “basic information” your friends can
carry with them as they use apps.
- Turn off or on “Instant Personalization” at partnering websites to see what
you friends have shared there.
- Turn off or on search engine results for your name.

18. Past posts
- You can enable limiting past posts to only friends
- Each post must be changed back manually for share it with others, but the
only option is “public”
- This will effect all past posts, starting back from your most current
- This will not recall information that people have saved or shared : it just
means no one can access it via your account anymore
- Remember: nothing will ever comeback, once it’s out

20. Blocking

“friend” you
see your profile
message you, etc.

specific apps

- Recognized Devices: if you turn on Login Approvals you can add devices
to this list
- Session Information: you can see where you have logged in from in the
past

26. Account security: tip
- Facebook Pages cannot see your details (depending on your settings)
- Businesses that use personal profiles can see all your details: ‘like’ a
business, never ‘friend’ it.

27. How Facebook Currently Uses Your Data
- To advertise goods/services to you from companies who pay Facebook for
the privilege of your data (Advertising)

29. Data you might not
share on purpose

Facebook uses ALL the data you share to serve you advertisements
based on your interests and your habits.

30. Friends
If you write or comment on someone else’s page or website, their settings will
determine who sees your post, no matter your privacy settings.
Your fiends will also drag your information along when they use Apps.

31. Subscribers
Subscribers only receive public
information and posts.
It’s like having a private and a public
profile at the same time.

32. In a nutshell:
- Check your settings and be aware of what you share
- Respect your friends’ privacy
- Use common sense!
